Co-creating in Schools Through Art and Science

Co-creating in Schools Through Art and Science: Lessons Learned in Community Engagement Within the Responsible Research and Innovation Framework by Petru Sandu, Valentina Tudisca, Adriana Valente
English | EPUB (True) | 2021 | 81 Pages | ISBN : 3030726894 | 1.9 MB

This book represents an applied, up-to-date work on RRI developments and their potential positive impact on societies. The societal challenges of the 21st century require the ability to integrate the knowledge and expertise of different societal actors, using more innovative, efficient and open approaches. Educational methodologies are in perpetual development in their attempt to provide tentative answers to three ever-changing digital age challenges: the challenge of speed, the challenge of form/at and the challenge of persistency. The current book aims to address these issues by presenting relevant case studies in the field of art, science and giving value to territory that, by the means of projects and initiatives using RRI consistent methodologies, have succeeded in their attempt to: preserve and valorise cultural heritage by using digital storytelling or crowddreaming methodology, develop educational strategies grounded on RRI and Open Schooling principles, contribute to new ways of thinking in the school environment by using RRI and promote gender equality and stimulate critical reflections on women’s role in science by the means of storytelling and RRI concepts.

Contemporary Issues in African Sciences and Science Education

Contemporary Issues in African Sciences and Science Education

Contemporary Issues in African Sciences and Science Education by Akwasi Asabere-Ameyaw, George J. Sefa Dei, Kolawole Raheem, Jophus Anamuah-Mensah
English | PDF (True) | 2012 | 231 Pages | ISBN : 9460917011 | 1.5 MB

In this careful articulation of science, the editors provide an intellectual marriage of Indigenous science and science education in the African context as a way of revising schooling and education. They define science broadly to include both the science of the natural/physical/biological and the ‘science of the social’. It is noted that the current policy direction of African education continues to be a subject of intense intellectual discussion. Science education is very much at the heart of much current debates about reforming African schooling. Among the ways to counter-vision contemporary African education this book points to how we promote Indigenous science education to improve upon African science and technology development in general.

Science Education Towards Social and Ecological Justice: Provocations and Conversations

Science Education Towards Social and Ecological Justice: Provocations and Conversations by Matthew Weinstein , Chantal Pouliot , Isabel Martins , Ralph Levinson , Lyn Carter , Larry Bencze , Ajay Sharma
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 214 Pages | ISBN : 3031393295 | 12.2 MB

This book consists of stories of struggles in science education presented by a network of science educators working in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Britain, and the United States. The common goal of these educators is to produce more socially/ecologically just models and practices of science education. The book considers and reworks the key-terms of current social justice: agency, realism, justice, and power. Its first section explores re-inhabiting science in the quest for more just worlds including reterritorializing science within emergent theories of critical realism, engaging citizens activists with corporate science, and challenging neoliberalism and the forces that organize (structure) knowledge.

This edited volume presents latest development in applications of Rasch measurement in science education. It includes a conceptual introduction chapter and a set of individual chapters. The introductory chapter reviews published studies applying Rasch measurement in the field of science education and identify important principles of Rasch measurement and best practices in applications of Rasch measurement in science education. The individual chapters, contributed by authors from Canada, China, Germany, Philippines and the USA, cover a variety of current topics on measurement concerning science conceptual understanding, scientific argumentation, scientific reasoning, three-dimensional learning, knowledge-in-use and cross-cutting concepts of the Next Generation Science Standards, medical education learning experiences, machine-scoring bias, formative assessment, and teacher knowledge of argument. There are additional chapters on advances in Rasch analysis techniques and technology including R, Bayesian estimation, comparison between joint maximum likelihood (JML) and marginal maximum likelihood (MML) estimations on model-data-fit, and enhancement to Rasch models by Cognitive Diagnostic Models and Latent Class Analysis. The volume provides readers who are new and experienced in applying Rasch measurement with advanced and exemplary applications in the forefront of various areas of science education research.

Grenzwerte oder infinitesimale Zahlen?: Über Einstiege in die Analysis und ihren Hintergrund

Grenzwerte oder infinitesimale Zahlen?: Über Einstiege in die Analysis und ihren Hintergrund by Thomas Bedürftig , Karl Kuhlemann
Deutsch | PDF | 2020 | 68 Pages | ISBN : 3658319070 | 1.6 MB

In diesem Buch wird der Weg von den infinitesimalen Größen bei Leibniz über die Grenzwerte zu den infinitesimalen Zahlen der Nichtstandardanalysis skizziert. Die begrifflichen Probleme der Grenzwerte werden diskutiert und der Einstieg in die Analysis mit infinitesimalen und infiniten Zahlen vorgestellt. Ein Vergleich mit dem Grenzwerteinstieg zeigt die Möglichkeiten der infinitesimalen Zahlen. Der Grenzwertformalismus entfällt. Der Einstieg in die Analysis wird arithmetisch und zugleich anschaulich. Da die heutige Analysis in Grenzwerten geschrieben ist, geht es nicht um eine Entscheidung, sondern um Offenheit. Infinitesimale Zahlen erweitern das Repertoire, vertiefen und verändern das mathematische Denken und öffnen den Blick, nicht zuletzt auf die Grenzwerte.

Understanding the Universe: An Introduction to Physics and Astrophysics by James B. Seaborn
English | PDF(True) | 1998 | 316 Pages | ISBN : 0387982957 | 26.3 MB

For the last eighteen years, I have been teaching an introductory course in as­ trophysics. The course is intended for nonscience majors satisfying a general education requirement in natural science. It is a physics course with applications in astronomy. The only prerequisite is the high school mathematics required for ad­ mission to the university. For a number of years, I used an astronomy text, which I supplemented with lecture notes on physics. There are many good astronomy texts available, but this was not a satisfactory state of affairs, since the course is a physics course. The students needed a physics text that focused on astronomical applications.
